Music for the Stage








OLYMPUS tries to bring a critical and disruptive vision of the mythology at the base of our cultural system through a multimedia, close and very direct language.

The first volume of the series is Prometheus. The myth tells that Prometheus is punished by Zeus for giving fire to men, thus freeing them from their bestiality. An eagle will eternally devour Prometheus’ liver for having disobeyed the boss of Olympus. 




Although we could say instead that an eagle will eternally devour Prometheus’ liver for having given the human race a second chance with an act of solidarity. Is Prometheus a saboteur who deserves his punishment or someone who puts himself in danger in the first person to rebel against despotic powers? Does he do it sincerely and reasonably or simply out of a tantrum and giving himself importance? Greek myths, like all myths, are there so that through them we can ask ourselves about human nature, not necessarily to find unambiguous answers.

Kingdom (2018) 


Agrupación Sr. Serrano ( http://www.srserrano.com )

Roger Costa: Sound Advisor and Live Sound Mastering


Kingdom is an irreverent cocktail mixing bananas, consumerism, virile choreographies, commercials, punk rock, King Kong, supermarkets, growth, confusion, expansion, multinationals, shortages, coups d’état, bestiality, trap music and very macho men in an endless party.

Birdie (2016) 


Agrupación Sr. Serrano ( http://www.srserrano.com )

Roger Costa: Soundtrack and sound design

Two mirages.

In one: wars, droughts, massive deforestation, polluted coasts, labor exploitation, political instability, poor sanitary conditions, persecution, forced deportation, abuse of natural resources, depleted aquifers, food shortages…

In the other: stocked supermarkets, safe streets, family stability, good health services, freedom, paid work, respect for human rights, welfare, recycling and renewable energies, prosperity, social mobility…

And in between, flocks of birds. Thousands of migrating birds constantly drawing impossible shapes in the sky. Movement. Ceaseless movement. Birds… and beyond, planets, asteroids, raw materials, galaxies, blood, cells, weapons, atoms, electrons, advertising, quarks, ideology, fear, waste, hope. Life. Nothing in the cosmos is quiet. Stillness is a chimera. The only thing there is, is movement.

If it is impossible to stop an electron, what’s the point in building fences against flocks of birds?

A House in Asia (2014) 



Agrupación Sr. Serrano ( http://www.srserrano.com )

Roger Costa: Soundtrack and sound design

The house where Geronimo is hiding in Pakistan. An exact copy of that house in a military base in North Carolina. A third twin house in Jordan, where a film is shot. The largest manhunt in history. A Sheriff obsessed with a white whale. The boy band Take That drilling for a historic mission. Cowboys and Indians. Airplanes and beers. Copies, reflections, imitations and cheeseburgers.

Brickman Brando Bubble Boom (2012)

Roger Costa: Soundtrack and sound design

Agrupación Señor Serrano presents Brickman Brando Bubble Boom, a stage biopic on the life of Sir John Brickman, the largest builder of nineteenth-century England, and a visionary man who inspired the first mortgage system in history. But also a stage biopic on Marlon Brando’s life, the savage actor in a quest for a home. And more: a vindication of homes against market rules.

Katastrophe (2011) 


Agrupación Sr. Serrano  ( http://www.srserrano.com )

Roger Costa: Soundtrack

Singer: Susanna Abellán

Four performers, eleven scaled models and hundreds of gummy bears create the world of Katastrophe: a stupid fable about human civilization, focused on disasters. In this context, the gummy bears suffer earthquakes, oil spills, wars and extermination. Everything is performed live through chemical experiments and subversive actions. Around the stage, three large screens immerse the audience in this pop world of chaos, game and destruction.
